The sublime absurdity of the American
immigration law is graphically portrayed
this week In Puck, which has cartoon
representing an ocean steamer landing. On
shore are gang of Italian musicians of
impecunious aspect surrounded by num-
Der of paupers and red-mouthed tangled
haired anarchists with their dynamite car
triges under their arms. while standiRg on
the gang plank refused the privilege OF
landing are score of welldressed, intelli-
gent looking men holding credentials OF
skilled workmen, &c. The cartoon was
doubtless suggested by the proceedings In
the cases of the Scotch farmer Cummings
and Rev. Mr.. Warren. Farmer Cummings
came to America under contract. He was
refused permission to land, on the ground
that Il would be a violation Of the law
against the immigration of persons undeI

He had to go back to Scotland. When i
became known that Rev. Mr.. Warren hat
come here under contract to fill the pastor
ate of Trinity Church, New York, a pro
test was entered. The matter was referred
TO the district attorney who, on Thursday
made known his decision. He says 1t Il
plain that the law does not refer merely t
manual labor only, for itexpressly exempt
professional actors artists, lecturers, ant
singers" and as Rev. Warren is neither o
these he falls plainly within the law. Th'

That alleged city called Streator is Ger
tainly remarkable for many things, but for
none more than for the monumental cheek
of its editors. In his own estimation the
average Streator editor is just about the
finest, most superb, really highest up, top
loftiest of Natures creatures. What other
people think of them, no matter. But
these editors desirve more notice than they

NDIAN LANDS

n Baxter Springs correspondent of
the Kansas City Times, under date of
September 9th, says:
The president has ordered the allot-
ment of all the Indian lands in the Qua
paw agency, consisting of the tribes of
the Senecas, Pottawatamies, Shaw
nees, PeOrias, Miamis, Quapaws, Mo
docs, Ottawas and Wyandottes.
These lands comprise about half
million acres of the best part of the In
dian territory, and are situated in the
extreme northeast corner of the terrific
ry. The lands are very fertile and rich
i'll mineral resources.
I'm accordance with the provisions
of the act of congress the Indians will
be allowed TO select about 800 acres of
land to each family and the remainder
Will be sold to actual settlers.
"A great many immigrants and home
seekers are daily arriving at Baxter
Springs, Kans., and waiting for the
completion of the survey of these lands.
1.-The Quapaw tribe own about 10000
acres lying Immediately south of Bax-
ter Springs, and they propose to sell all
their lands and Join the Osages, of
which they are branch.
Government officials are trying to
have 10000 or 1900 acres set apart for
a national park similar to the great
Yellowstone park. The scenery in
portion of this territory is very grand
and is full of beautiful streams, lakes,
forests and springs. Game and fish
are In great abundance, and it is the
intention to have strict game laws en-
forced in the district, to prevent the
entire extinction of deer turkey and
other game.
1.-The Indian agent is having the
lands surveyed as rapidly as possible,
and expects a special agent or commits
sloner from Washington every day to
carry out the order of the president
